Once Shai Gilgeous-Alexander gets going, it’s basically game over for whoever the Oklahoma City Thunder is playing against.
SGA recorded his third 50-point game of the season in a commanding 140-109 Thunder rout of the Kevin Durant-less Phoenix Suns for a third straight win, Thursday, February 6.

Shai isn't missing much tonight, he's got 46 PTS on 16-26 FGM 🎯
He's on the mic for PHX-OKC on ESPN 🎙?
OKC improved their record to a West-best 40-9, becoming the second team this season to reach 40 wins after the Cleveland Cavaliers (41).
Meanwhile, Bradley Beal led the Suns (25-25) with 25 points off the bench on the night Durant missed the game due to an ankle injury.
Oklahoma City hosts the Toronto Raptors (16-35) next while Phoenix returns home for a three-game stand starting against the Utah Jazz (11-37).
